Kerry Washington says she’s shed her pregnancy weight in two very simple ways.

“I’m mostly working 16-hour days and spending a lot of time running after my little girl,” the Scandal star told me at The Daily Front Row’s Fashion Los Angeles Awards at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

We’ll assume she’s not doing much of that running after nine-month-old Isabelle in sky-high Christian Louboutin heels.

She was on hand at the awards to present Women’s Shoe Designer of the

Scandal is on and poppin’ in Season 4. As Olivia Pope, actress Kerry Washington is embroiled in most of them. So what happens when she’s not working and she’s just out and about trying to live her life?

“I once had a woman tell me that she wouldn’t let me on the plane if I promised that I wouldn’t cheat on the President,” Washington said. “I told her I don’t write the show and that the President is married.”

It must be easy to get real-life Kerry confused with her character because Washingt

The last season of Scandal was full of many secrets, the biggest being Kerry Washington’s pregnancy.

Whether it was a long designer coat or a well-placed lamp, Shonda Rhimes’ team worked hard to conceal their lead actress’ pregnancy instead of writing it into her character’s storyline. The decision made it difficult for Washington to film the 18-episode season.

“All of last season was a challenge for me, on a few levels,” the 37-year-old told The Holl

ABC’s “Scandal” is ending its third season with a bang.

That’s from a bomb blast that was a plot twist in the Kerry Washington series and from big TV ratings. The Nielsen ratings company says last week’s episode had 10.6 million viewers, making it the most-watched episode of the series.

“Scandal” was the week’s most popular show among the young viewers ABC watches most closely for advertising sales. Among all viewers, CBS’ “NCIS” was the most-watched program.

CBS won the prime-time ratings ra

Shonda Rhimes's show deals with adultery, temptation, redemption, and the need for a savior--making it a ripe, but potentially perilous, Biblical teaching tool.

 

The first time viewers of ABC's hit drama Scandal see Olivia Pope go to church, she's there to oversee the success of a "fix" she negotiated for the wife of a prominent pastor who died on top of his mistress. Pope spends much of the episode counseling and empathizing with the mistress, while the long-suffering wife--still reeling from
